ESTABLISH NEW CITY TAX BASE
Question: Shall the City of Woodburn be authorized a $1.895.000 tax base
beginning with the 1995-96 Fiscal Year?
Summarv: This measure will establish a new city tax base of $1.895,000, replacing
the current tax base of $209,060, which was established in approximately 1916.
City functions funded entirely or in part by the proposed tax base include police
services, 9-1-1. code enforcement. municipal court, finance and administration, transit
system. RSVP program and other support activities. Continuing growth in recent
years has increased demand for city services.
The proposed new tax base represents the combination of the existing tax base and
the approximate amount of the additional one-year operating levy that the city would
otherwise need to maintain current service levels during Fiscal Year 1995-96. The
new tax base will help maintain the city's relative share of the $10 per $1,000 (of
assessed value) in nonschool taxes available for collection under current limitations.
This tax levy is subject to the limits of section 11 b, Article XI of the Oregon
Constitution and the revenues to be raised will be used exclusively by the city for
other governmental (nonschool) purposes. Within these limits, approval of this
measure would reduce the property tax collections of other nonschool district units
of government available under the provisions of section 11 b, Article XI, Oregon
Constitution and implementing legislation.
